MCF Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With MCF at 1.38, here's a table showing how big the annual "dividend" (ie. total annual call premium received) would need to be to attain 3%, 5%, and 10% annual yields. Also shown is the equivalent number of cents/day necessary to achieve each yield:

Annual Yield	Annual Premium	Cents/Day
3%	0.04	0.0
5%	0.07	0.0
10%	0.14	0.0

So now we need to find out of the money covered calls that pay at least the prescribed cents/day amount of time premium. That will generate income and, because they are out of the money, leave room for some upside potential on the stock. Here are some examples:

3% Yield On MCF Using Covered Calls
Expiration	Strike	Call Bid	Days	Cents/Day	Upside Potential
Jan 17	2.50	0.05	180	0.0	0.82 (59.4%)

5% Yield On MCF Using Covered Calls
